Why Gillingham Properties Are Different
Properties near the river in Strood and Rochester can experience seasonal damp — we factor this into material choices
Access & logistics: Properties in Rochester High Street and Chatham town centre have restricted access — we plan deliveries for early morning and use smaller vehicles where necessary.
Seasonal tip: Medway's proximity to the Thames estuary means coastal humidity — we recommend moisture-resistant materials for kitchens and bathrooms, particularly in properties near the river.
Common Considerations for Medway Properties
- Concrete subfloors in post-war housing that need levelling compound before flooring
- Plasterboard walls in 1960s builds that struggle to support heavy wall units without reinforcement
- Narrow hallways in terraced houses requiring careful planning for staircase and storage work
Local knowledge isn't just about knowing the postcode — it's about knowing the parking restrictions near Gillingham High Street, the merchant suppliers worth using, and the small details that catch out trades from outside Medway. We bring all of that to every job.
Different Clients, Different Needs in Gillingham
Rental kitchens need durable units, easy-clean worktops and quick turnarounds — we can typically fit a full kitchen in 5–7 days.
